This is a post i wanted to blog since time. It has not to be meant as a guide or a reccomendation, it’s just my desire to express how much the music is important for me all the time, while i am working and in my spare time. In some aspects of my work, music makes me concentrate more and helps me to get inspirated and motivated in what i am doing. Normally the best moment for me to listen Music is in the morning after i got up. In the morning Music juices my movitations, my goals and probably makes me thing better.
The world of the Music has changed dramatically in the last few years, from the production to the distribution. It’s unbelievable the quantity of free music can be legally downloadable. Many websites play tracks without interruptions, all the time we get access to Internet we can listen music of our favourite Band or artist. Also the quality has improved a lot, with good speakers we can now play high quality music. What is still missing maybe it s the usage of the music or sound in websites not dedicated to the music scenery. I think in a short time people will realise that a Website can be seen as a movie and so it can have a music background.
I hope you can enjoy now my favorite Web Music applications and some nice websites music layout.

SoundCloud was originally started in Stockholm, Sweden, but was established in Berlin, Germany in August, 2007 by sound designer Alex Ljung and artist Eric Wahlforss.

Selecting the right ecommerce platform can be a difficult task. There are so many possibilities, all with their own quirks, (sometimes bloated) feature sets and workflows for implementation, which is why TradingEye really stands out and Ten Little Monkeys is the CMS site of the month for .Net magazine.
The site sells designer clothing, gifts and accessories for kids, and was designed and developed by Darren Alawi.
“I needed a PHP platform that was highly customisable and allowed me to hand code the Front end”, he explains. Although it is not free to run TradingEye – you will need to purchase a licence – they offer discounts if you buy in bulk, and the support that’s provided makes the cost worth it, says Darren. “The structure of the site was perfect as well, quite similar to WordPress in the way you edit the template files, plus there is a growing community to discuss issues with”. » Read more: CMS and HTML5 Design Inspiration

Brizk is the portfolio of freelance Web Designer Kai Brach. Brach explains that the most recent design of his site is “all about simplicity”. He moved away from watercolour illustrations and complex images towards a design that he felt better represented the work he is interested in. “There’s now more emphasis on typography and responsiveness (media queries for a mobile version) plus i employ a bit of CSS3 code to play with things like navigation”, he says.
Just the right amount of CSS transitions, gradients and opacity effects gives classy finishing touches to this elegant design. ” I use a lot of opacity settings and changes coupled with transition effects, and love how this makes it so easy to increase or decrease the emphasis on certain elements”, says Brach. “It works really well – expecially if you have moving elements on top of a gradient background.” » Read more: HTML5 and CMS Websites Inspiration
